🔌 Power Up Your Space: Unleash the Freedom of Placement!
The WS-POE-USB-Kit is a powerful solution for extending USB power and data over Ethernet cables, allowing you to position your devices up to 328 feet away from a power source. This kit includes a 24V PoE injector and a 5V PoE splitter, making it compatible with a wide range of devices while ensuring fast data transfer speeds.

Perfect! Works exactly as advertised.
I used this to provide power and Ethernet to a Mevo webcam and Boost. I bought another PoE extractor which was supposed to do the same thing using 802.3af (48 volt PoE) but it did not work for this application. This setup comes with a wall wart and injector, but if your switch supports the older 24 volt incarnation of PoE (as many Ubiquiti switches do) it will work just fine in that mode without the need for the injector and wall wart at the switch end. I sort of wish I had ordered the version that had a Micro USB, but I found some short little Micro USB cables that worked fine.

Update 5/15/17: adding photo of the power injector. Connect the end of your cat5/6 run to the female port.I bought this to connect my new Nest Camera Outdoor using POE instead of the supplied power adapter. It worked flawlessly and was a very affordable solution to simplify my installation.Included in the package is the POE splitter, USB adapter, injector, and power supply. I agree with some of the other reviewers in that the included documentation could be improved to help with making the connections, but it wasn't too difficult to figure out.

Not enough power to charge a Samsung Galaxy Tablet!
It does what it says...sort of, it sends power across a cat 5 cable, and comes with everything you need (except the USB cable to plug into your device). But the problem is, it doesn't actually provide enough power to charge anything that has a decent battery. May work with my 2 year old cell phone, but won't charge a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 tablet. The battery will drain faster then it can send power to it! I bought 2 to continually charge a couple of tablets that will be placed on a wall in house for home control.These are being sent back as I type this! Was really hoping these would work...very disappointed.

I purchased this POE adapter for use with a Nest Cam and so far, it is working great. It's much cheaper than buying a separate POE injector and then another adapter to convert the ethernet to USB. This provide sufficient power for a Nest Cam to operate over a 75' CAT5E cable and a 10' USB cable. It's a good, compact size and was plug and play. No issues, easy to use, works great, and cheap. Recommended.

Works well. I did find however, that they could provide clearer instructions to explain whether or not dongle plugs into switch or if cat5e cable should be used to connect dongle to switch. I am a very technical user, but it is not extremely clear how to connect everything without some trial and error.

Exactly what I needed to get the job done
I needed USB power to a smart home device that I needed to run without batteries. I thought about running a 120V outlet to power the device but found this PoE device that did the trick. Now the sensor is within code on low voltage power. Great device, will purchase more of these when needed.

*Buyer beware, this is a POE injection solution, not using your existing POE switch.*
Not sure who's fault this is, but, when I saw 'POE-USB-Kit', I assume that that this device takes traditional POE from a POE switch (802.3af).I'm very disappointed in that I read all the reviews and didn't pick this up, that you must use there POE injector as the source of power.Of all the people that bought this, nobody is using an actual POE switch to push the power over the ethernet cable? How silly! I'm an advanced IT user, I have my house cabled with CAT6, I have an enterprise grade 48-port Cisco POE switch that I use to power all my IP POE cameras and my Cisco Aironet WAP. There has got to be a solution to convert traditional 802.3af (POE) to USB for powering in-wall devices like an iPad. This solution requires using the 'Wifi-Texas' brand 24-volt POE injector on the other end. I call that poor mans POE at best. Meh.

Can't technically give this a bad review but...
I was so excited to hear about this product. I have a chinese 10.1" Android Tablet that I am using flush mounted in the wall at my house and when I was running the wiring I thought how cool it would be to not have to run power, and just use POE. Well, unfortunately after spending 3 hours in my attic not running power and just running cat5 and Audio to the tablet, I powered it up and the first problem (probably not the product's issue, don't know) is that the USB/Ethernet Dongle on my tablet wouldn't charge the tablet. So I said OK, I'll use the supplied breakout USB charge cable that they supply in the other USB port in the tablet. Well for whatever reason, not sure if it's product or tablet related, the tablet discharges faster than the POE adapter can charge it. I turned off every single thing in the tablet hoping I could get the current draw low enough but to no avail, all I could do is make it discharge slower. Again, this just may be my crappy chinese tablet, but it definitely would not charge the tablet via USB, guessing not enough current to keep the tablet from discharging. I ended up having to use the A/C charger that came with it and run an extra wire to power.
